Does anyone know what this screen means? I have an older (2007) MacBook Pro that has worked like new until just now. It just keeps restarting over and over by itself and this message keeps popping up with this blue screen.
thank you for any help!
MacBook Pro
You have a kernel panic
Does it work now?
If so then log the panic and lost it here
It just keeps restarting itself over and over. I've tried completely turning it off and letting it sit. When I turn it back on it just turns blue and gives me that message and continues to restart.

- If you do not have a backup use disk utility to restore the internal disk to an external disk so you can try to recover data.
Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX
Recovery is only for Lion and above. If you have Some Leopard then use an install DVD instead.
Thank you for your suggestions! Unfortunately, I've tried restarting pressing shift and restarting pressing command r and the computer still boots up with the blue screen but instead of restarting repeatedly it freezes.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
